The Grinch
Jim Carey excels in a role he was born to play, always a favorite of mine. The recent animated version with Benedict Cumberbatch isn't bad but this version is far superior.
Daddy's Home 2
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are Co-Dads that are getting along only for their Dads, a talkative John Lithgow and a mans man Mel Gibson. For Christmas, they all go to a Ski Lodge where a load of comic mishaps occur. I rather enjoyed this, it's silly but it's fun.
Santa Claus: The Movie
The story of how Santa came to be and also tells the story of a Elf (Dudley Moore) who goes to New York and gets taken advantage off by a Toymaker (John Lithgow). This is from 1985 and it's probably the 1st film, I ever saw at the Cinema (I got rather restless, I believe) it looks like it was shot in a old fashioned way and the FX are pretty good for it's time. Wasn't really sure if I would like it but I rather enjoyed it. Even though the alternate VHS/DVD cover isn't too bad but it's not a patch on the classic VHS Rental cover.
